No, they haven't been to London to see the Queen, as the rhyme goes? I found them all rolled up and hiding in the wardrobe! This small cat quilt was layered and safety pinned together, ready for machine quilting. Obviously, I had a tidy up, and put them away, so I'm pleased I found them. Although I searched high and low through the photo albums I can’t find out when I started this project. What I do remember is that the pussy cats came as a small panel, I sliced them apart, then sewed the sashing strips as leader and enders while stitching other projects. I took it outside one day to enjoy the wintry sunshine under the archgola and added extra pins to my quilting lines.
More pins, I just cant help myself
A few afternoons of quilting and I was well on the way to the finish line.
A quilting we will go
I like to make sure the binding is all ready and waiting, so I made that too. All ready now for the next step.
Binding done
In other news, I had a trip to the hospital last week, nothing serious, just a regular follow up appointment with my oncologist. Before we could enter the waiting room there was a nurse all set up to give people a RAT test, (rapid antigen test). While we were waiting for the results, the nurse commented that these clinics at the hospital were catching several positive Covid cases each day, so of course these people cannot go ahead with their appointments are are turned away. Better to be safe than sorry, especially when mixing with people getting cancer treatments as they are in this particular area. Luckily both Robin and I returned negative results and were free to continue, complete with a dinky little sticker to show we were cleared.

But the drama wasn’t over yet. On fronting up to reception desk to book in, I was told my specialist wasn’t in Palmerston North Hospital today, she was holding a clinic at Levin. Oh dear, don’t tell me I had misread my appointment letter, surely not? What had happened was that my appointment document was printed out on the incorrect letter head. The staff member concerned came to see us, and was terribly apologetic for the error, rang through to the doctor, who added me to her afternoon appointment list. I'm so pleased that was sorted out. So we went for an early lunch, then drove back to Levin in time for my 2.00pm appointment. It was quite a day, I can tell you. The appointment went well, with a follow up ultra scan booked to follow.

The Pussy 🐈⬛ 🐱 🐈 s quilt is lovely and the binding is perfect.
Pleased Robin and you were both clear of Covid and you did get your appointment sorted…
too bad the appointment schedule had you going to the wrong place but good you were able to get it done anyhow. Nice to find a quilt top all pinned up ready to go
Getting in to see a dr these days can be a bit of an ordeal! Glad to hear your appt went well. Can’t wait to see your finished cat quilt. Gemma may want to claim it!
Oh so good you got your appointment sorted.specialists take so long to come up. My appointment, which I have waited for 6 weeks already , has just been postponed at least another 4 weeks. So frustrating
Still masking up here for hospital and clinic visits as well, since positive cases are increasing. I’m glad the nurse was able to reschedule your appointment, but it does panic a person!
Interesting to know how medical appointments are handled in NZ. Though we also still have to wear a mask to doctor's appointments, my oncology office (nor any other medical offices) does not require COVID testing. Not sure what would happen if I turned up at the wrong place for an appointment, even if it was THEIR FAULT. I'd probably have to wait a week or two (at least) for another appointment. I'm glad for you that you could have a nice lunch and get to the correct location without much difficulty. And yay for finding a UFO and moving it toward a finish!
We still mask up to go to the doctor and into the hospital. Much better safe than sorry I think. Glad that you managed to get your appointment sorted out and got to see your doctor.
God bless.
I am very pleased you found your cat quilt, especially as it was so close to finished!!
Also good to know your appointment was sorted out after the mix up.
Happy to hear that you tested negative. That's going to be a lovely quilt.
Jenny I am so glad that all got straightened out with your doctor's appointment and it was not delayed . It has been so long since I have heard that little nursery rhyme- so cute as it your quilt. Can not wait to see it bound and finished. Have a wonderful week.
